What Can Be The Cause For Abdominal Pain And Diarrhea Post Gall Bladder Removal Operation?

Hi, I have had upper and lower abdominal pain for the last few months along with diarrhea. I have had my gallbladder removed approximately 5 months ago. I understand diarrhea is to be expected with that. But what concerns me is the constant abdominal pain. I had diarrhea 3 times over the course of an hour today. When I looked in the toilet the diarrhea looked stringy. A week or so ago the diarrhea was a rust red color with black spots on it. Any ideas would help please. Thanks
